"Joyful noise"
Altgeld Sawyer Farm is proud to announce a one-day, temporary installation of Laurie LeBreton’s interactive, hand made paper, sound sculptures.
We invite you to come explore the possibilities of hand made paper, to play and interact with this work!
“Joyful Noise” is a series of 29 instruments filled with materials that make distinctive sounds. Participants are invited to shake the instruments or to hit them with sticks, creating their own joyful sounds. “Wild and Sweet” is a set of bell-like sculptures created with abaca and reed.
LeBreton makes sculptures with handmade paper. Through her sculptures she examines ideas of ephemerality, the role of chance, the interplay of joy and sorrow and the futility of control. Many of her sculptures are hanging sculptures that respond to currents of air and manipulation, underscoring the idea of impermanence. www.laurielebreton.net
